Abstract
Processes for the production of hydrogen cyanide from the reaction of methane with ammonia at temperatures above about 800.degree. C. where the reactor contains a matrix bed of heat resistant materials. The product stream produced within the reactor is preferably routed in a countercurrent fashion to the feed stream entering the reactor to preheat the feed stream and to lower the exit temperature of the product stream. Reactors capable of being used to practice such processes are also provided by the invention.
